Michelle Obama, first lady of the United States of America, recently celebrated her 49th birthday by creating a Twitter account and premiering a new hairstyle.

Obama turned 49 on Thursday and joined the world of Twitter, gaining over 78,000 followers in one day. While the social media account was not operated by Obama herself upon its creation, the new Twitter handle @FLOTUS informed people that she will also write her own messages.

"The @FLOTUS Office is now on @twitter & will post updates & pics. When it's her, she'll sign -mo. PS: RT to wish Mrs. Obama a #HappyBirthday," the first message from Obama's Twitter account read.

Obama's account also informed followers that she recently met with the inaugural citizen co-chair and posted an image of the first lady with a new hairstyle featuring bangs.

"The First Lady just met with inaugural citizen co-chair David Hall ahead of #MLKDay of Service," the photograph caption stated.

While Obama's Twitter followers are steadily increasing, many people took notice of her new hairstyle. Naya Rivera, "Glee" actress and singer, made sure to comment on the first lady's new bangs before her performance for the first family.

Although the first lady has yet to comment about her new hairstyle, she did write a personal message on Twitter to thank supporters for wishing her a happy birthday while promoting a day of service on the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr holiday.
